The great tribulation and signs of His coming

Those days shall be shortened" For then will be great tribulation...Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short" Matt. 24:21, 22. When you read Revelation 6-18 and see the multitudes that shall be killed, you understand why "those days shall be shortened.   This is a must read to understand the book of Revelation.

Who are the elect here?
"Some have taken the elect here to refer specifically to the elect living on earth, but it is more probable that this event will include all the elect, or the saved, including Old Testament saints, saved Israel, the church and the saints of the Tribulation period leading up to the Second Coming. Some will need to be resurrected from the dead, such as the martyrs (Rev. 20:4-6) and the Old Testament saints (Dan. 12:2). The church was resurrected, or translated, earlier, at the time of the Rapture. At the second coming of Christ no child of God will be left unresurrected or unrestored, but all will share in the millennial kingdom." Dr. John Walvoord, "The Prophecy Knowledge Handbook." This book is a classic. It has every prophetic verse in the Bible explained Published by Victor Books, GET IT.

As the days of Noah
" For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. "For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be." Vs. 37-39.

Noah's Day
What was it like and what will it be like just before Jesus comes to the earth again. 1. "Men began to multiply." Gen. 6:1. There was population explosion here was sex perversion. Sound familiar? 2. There was sexual perversion, Vs. 2-4. Two men having sex together or two women having sex together is as unnatural as can be. I am not homophobic and do not hate them but any electrician knows you do not put two male plugs together. 3. "Every imagination of the thoughts of the heart was only evil continually" Vs. 5. Have you watched TV lately? It is saturated with sexual thought, innuendo's and sexual acts. 4. "The earth was corrupt before God" Vs. 10. I am so ashamed of our country and so much that goes on. From what President Clinton did in the White House down to what the soldiers did to the prisoners of Iraq. We deserve the wrath of God. 5. The earth was filled with violence" Vs. 11. Even before but since 9/11 our whole world is filled with ruthless, hateful and senseless violence. We need to cry out, not "God bless America" but "God help America." "But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived" 2 Tim. 3:1-13. Please read it.

O dear people, these are just the beginning of the "birth pains" and becoming more intense and more frequent. We must be prepared for the rapture, any minute now.

Prayer:  Father, we can hardly wait to see you. Help us that we will not be ashamed at Your coming. In Jesus name

Desolation

The abomination of desolation

GET THIS BOOK mentioned at the end on the religion of Muslims. Awesome, scary.

The abomination of desolation
"Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place,..." Matt 24:15. "This is the man of sin (2 Thes. 2:4) the Antichrist who at this midpoint in the tribulation breaks his covenant which he made at the beginning of the tribulation with the Jewish people and demands that they and the world worship him" Ryrie's footnote in the Ryrie Study Bible.

Things people are to do
"Flee to the mountains," "Woe to them that are with child," "Pray that your flight be not in the winter" Vs 16-20. All of these will have relevance to the Jewish people during those days of the Tribulation. They have no meaning to us today and we won't be here in the Tribulations. Make sense?

Great tribulation
"For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will" Vs 21. The world has seen tribulation but never to the degree as this will be. The details are in Revelation 6-18.

O dear people, all of this should urge us on to more godliness and giving the gospel to our family and friends so they have a chance to go to heaven.

Prayer:  Father, bless your dear people and give us understanding of the times so we will invest our time wisely. In Jesus name. And I love you, All because of Calvary, sumner

We wrestle against...
Remember, "we wrestle not against flesh and blood but spiritual wickedness." TODAY, THE NEWS reported a Muslim cleric, I believe it was, stated openly that "Israel and Americans are the enemies of God." You must get Dr. Ergun Caner and Dr. Emir Caner's book "More Than a Prophet" exposing Muslims and what they really believe. It is awesome. The Caner brothers are converted Muslims. They now teach in good seminaries. They know this religion and the Quran like you know the Bible. It is shocking and superb. A must read.

More on Christ's second coming

"Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many" Matt. 24:11.

I HATE NO ONE.
I love the Arabs. I have been to at least 5 Arab countries and have some very dear Arab friends. I denounce and strongly protest the humiliation some of our soldiers did to the Iraqi prisoners. This is desperately wrong and I detest it. The soldiers should be severely punished.

False prophets and religions
Probably the most deceptive false prophet today is Mohammed. Their religion is filled with hate. They hated us so much they deliberately planned and killed thousands of innocent civilian Americans in the name of Allah. If you saw the news, it showed thousands of Arabs rejoicing and clapping at the news of the planes plowing into the trade center. Hundreds of children were interviewed and they said they wanted to be a martyr when they grew up. They were taught this in their mosque. I did not make this up. It was shown all over the world.

YOU are an infidel
They hate every religion and say we are all "infidels" and have no right to live. They believe Israel has no right to live and have said so openly. I have read their own writings. There are Muslim clerics here in Dallas, in America, in Canada and all over the world who are freely preaching hate, violence and claiming the suicide bombers go straight to heaven for killing Jews and Christians. Can you believe a religion would say you go to heaven for being wicked? They say "give your son to die to go to heaven." God gave His Son to die for our sins so we can be saved, love them and go to heaven. Come on folks, let's get our head out of the sand. We must love them, get the gospel to them and do all we can to expose false prophets and win people to the Jesus, the God of love. Folks, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places " Eph 6:12.

"I am the LORD, and there is no other; Besides Me there is no God" Isa. 45:5. The millions of professed gods all over the world are false prophets. There is no way there can be millions of gods. Only One could be the all mighty God who created the world and man. The one God of the Bible is the only one who could have and did create us all.

O dear people.
Let's exalt Him, worship Him and serve him alone. Millions of Muslims are being reached for Christ all over the world. Let's all get in on this great privilege in our own country and spare the world another Hitler (Osama Bin Laden) or (Sadam Hussein).

Father, bless Your dear people and help us to see the signs and obey You to get the gospel to all people. In Jesus name
